Starving arctic foxes turn to cannibalism as they battle climate change and lack of food in one of the saddest scenes ever filmed for a Sir David Attenborough programme.
In a heartbreaking moment on BBC series Mammals, desperate foxes are seen feeding on one of their own who is believed to have collapsed and died from starvation.
Rising temperatures in the Arctic have caused the sea to freeze over later in the year and, without sea ice, it means the foxes are unable to hunt.
Desperate and starving, the latest episode sees them resort to cannibalism in order to survive in one of the most gruesome and saddest scenes the broadcaster has ever shot.
In scenes some viewers might find too unbearable to watch, the episode shows a skulk of foxes fighting over the carcass that has starved to death on Canada's Hudson Bay.

Sir David Attenborough's latest wildlife series focuses on how animals are adapting to the world as they battle climate change
Sir David will tell viewers only 'time will tell' if the species can survive in the long term, reports The Mirror.
He says: 'Arctic foxes form unlikely alliances with the polar bears.
'It's late in the year and both species are waiting for the sea to freeze.
'Once it does, polar bears will once again be able to hunt seals out on the ice and Arctic foxes will scavenge from their leftovers.
'But right now, both are hungry and both must wait. Ten days pass but there is still no sea ice in sight.
'For the foxes the situation is becoming desperate. The wait for one Arctic fox has been too long.
'The starving survivors cannot ignore this opportunity. Desperation has led to cannibalism, something being seen more and more in the Arctic.'
The new series has won rave reviews from critics and viewers despite baseless claims by some that elephants in one episode 'look like CGI'.

Elephants walk into a town in Zimbabwe in scenes filmed for the new BBC series Mammals
Some have claimed the elephant scenes looked computer-generated, but this has been denied
Audience members took to social media during the show to highlight concerns over scenes showing the nightly jaunts of African elephants through a town in Zimbabwe.
But Mammals assistant producer Sarah-Jane Walsh confirmed it was real, from a 'low light camera' and 'high ISO' - a setting to capture brighter images in dark situations.
Another assistant producer on the show, Harriet Lawrence, said it was hard to find the elephants, with the team using thermal scopes to spot them in dark alleyways.
The latest episode in the six-part series, titled Cold, airs this Sunday on BBC One at 7pm.
